Silicone-based hydrogel toe caps can be used to protect
toes while they heal
Got troubled toes? Now there's help to ease all types of toe
discomfort.What are silicone-based hydrogel toe caps? Silicone-based
hydrogel toe caps, also called "toe tubes," are designed
to protect toes from pressure. The toe caps fit securely over your
toes and conform to the skin, providing extra protection against
pressure. The hydrogel design allows toes to flex with comfort.
Silicone-based hydrogel toe caps can be used for a variety of toe
conditions, including:
- corns, areas of thickened skin caused by pressure
- hammertoes, a toe deformity caused by a muscle imbalance
- deformed toenails, which can be caused by fungal infections
- ingrown toenails , a condition in which the corner of the toenail
grows into the surrounding toe skin
How to wear silicone-based hydrogel toe caps
Silicone-based hydrogel toe
caps are designed to be easily slipped on and off. Large toe
caps are designed to fit big toes and small toe caps are designed
to fit all other toes.
Warnings on silicone-based hydrogel toe caps
Silicone-based hydrogel toe caps should not be worn overnight when
sleeping. Also, people who are prone to foot problems, such as those
with diabetes and other circulatory conditions, should not wear
toe caps without a doctor's approval.
Care for silicone-based hydrogel toe caps
Silicone-based hydrogel toe caps are designed for easy cleaning.
Simply hand wash toe caps with warm water and air dry. Sprinkle
with talcum powder to keep toe caps fresh.
